How to get your police crash report
Pick the state, then the police department or sheriff that worked your crash. Each page says where to request the report, what it costs, how long it takes and who is allowed to get it. Every fact links to the agency's own website or state law and shows when we checked it. If an agency doesn't publish something, we say “Not published” instead of guessing.
We don't sell or hold crash reports. You request yours directly from the agency or the official state portal, and the fee goes to them.

Crash report FAQ
Where do I get my crash report?
From the agency whose officer worked the crash: city police, the sheriff, or the state police or highway patrol. Texas and Florida also sell most police crash reports through a statewide state portal (TxDOT and FLHSMV). In Louisiana, the State Police portal only has crashes worked by State Police.

Can anyone get a crash report in Florida?
Not for the first 60 days. Florida law keeps crash reports with personal information confidential for 60 days after the report is filed, except for the people involved, their lawyers and insurers, and certain others listed in section 316.066.
